# Wendor — Full Context > Wendor is a wedding booking platform that connects engaged couples with pre-vetted, verified wedding vendors and gives those vendors a complete CRM for bookings, packages, and payments. Unlike traditional wedding directories, Wendor is a booking platform: it places the wedding date at the centre and connects verified real-time availability, instant booking, communication, and payments in one place. ## What Wendor Does - Connects couples with pre-vetted wedding vendors who have verified availability on their specific wedding date - Lets couples browse verified portfolios, compare transparent packages, and book instantly with secure deposits - Gives vendors a complete CRM covering bookings, packages and pricing, calendar management, payments, and lead nurturing - Guarantees that every vendor on the platform responds within 48 hours - Removes the guesswork of traditional directories by showing who is genuinely available before couples reach out - Keeps couples and vendors aligned with in-app notifications and reminders ## Target Audience Engaged couples planning a wedding who want a faster, clearer, more confident way to find and book their wedding team — and wedding professionals (photographers, planners, venues, caterers, florists, and other vendors) who want qualified leads and a single platform to manage their client workflow. ## How Wendor Is Different Major competitors such as Hitched, Bridebook, The Wedding Directory, and Tie The Knot operate primarily as large static directories. The core friction with directories is the lack of real-time availability — wasted time for couples and low-quality inquiries for vendors. Wendor positions itself as a booking platform, not another directory, built around three differentiators: - **Verified real-time availability**: Couples see which vendors are actually available on their wedding date before reaching out. - **Instant booking**: Couples can book a vendor immediately with a secure deposit, directly from the vendor's profile. - **48-hour response guarantee**: Every vendor commits to responding within 48 hours, so couples are never left waiting. ## For Couples Find and book pre-vetted wedding vendors instantly. Browse verified portfolios, compare transparent packages, and secure your dream wedding team with ease. The couple journey has four steps: - **Profile**: Complete your profile so Wendor can match you with pre-vetted vendors who are available on your wedding day. - **Browse**: Browse available vendors, reach out for a chat, review their packages and portfolios, and shortlist favourites. - **Book**: Secure your chosen vendor with a booking deposit. The vendor confirms within 48 hours. - **Chill**: The Wendor app keeps you and your vendors on track with notifications and reminders. ## For Vendors Grow your wedding business with Wendor. Get qualified leads and manage the full client lifecycle — bookings, packages, payments, and CRM — in one platform, so you can spend more time on the work you love. The vendor workflow: - **Create Your Profile**: Showcase your brand, portfolio, services, and serviceable locations to get discovered. - **Packages & Pricing**: Publish transparent packages, add-ons, and availability to build trust instantly. - **Bookings & Calendar**: Receive leads and bookings, manage calendar conflicts, and confirm faster. - **Payments & CRM**: Accept secure deposits, track invoices, and nurture leads with the built-in CRM. Faster responses and a complete, transparent profile improve a vendor's ranking and discoverability with couples. ### Vendor Pricing - **Subscription**: €29.99 per month or €299.99 per year for access to the platform, including the booking engine and CRM. - **Booking fee**: 2% of the total package price for bookings made through the app, capped at €30.00 per booking. - **Payment processing**: Standard payment processing fees (such as pay-by-bank or card fees) also apply. ## About Wendor Wendor exists to bring clarity to both sides of wedding planning. Founder Lindsay Moynagh, a wedding planner, works with trusted, dependable vendors yet still faced endless emails, manual follow-ups, and uncertainty around availability. If the process is that fragmented even with trusted professionals, it is far harder for couples starting from scratch. By placing the wedding date at the centre, verifying professionals, and connecting availability, booking, communication, and payments in one place, Wendor removes friction so both sides can connect, confirm, and move forward with confidence. ## Frequently Asked Questions (Vendors) **What fees does Wendor charge vendors?** Wendor charges a subscription fee of €29.99 per month or €299.99 per year for access to the platform, including the booking engine and CRM.
